    I think he is near all star level this season. Has bright future, and i think he is a better deal than dragic and rondo.

    He's a RFA this season. Dragic and Rondo are UFAs.

    At this point, I REALLY don't want Rondo. He's older, very injury prone and can be a bit cantankerous. Not sure I'd want Dragic either. He's going to be 29 at the start of next season. Do we want a ton of money wrapped up in a pg who will have most of his contract after 30?

    I think we are going to sign someone this offseason and one of them will be a name player. I think we land someone out of the trio of Rondo, Dragic, and Kevin Love. There are plusses and minuses with each guy, but I see Mitch really pulling out the magic wand and making some things happen in both free agency and the draft.

    Just the perils of being on losing teams and a small market team to boot.

    He is the sort of player waiting to be plucked up and put in a better position by a contender.

    He was just barely snubbed from the All-Star game. I don't think he's as under the radar as people think he is.

    Im with you, I think hes one of the better options. Talented and young. Like someone mentioned, hes restricted. I still hope the lakers try to get him.

    I would definitely love to sign Knight, especially if he's cheaper than Rondo & Dragic. But as we were told last summer Mitch doesn't like making offers to RFA's because it ties up cap space waiting for the team to match. Maybe he changes his tune with no Lebron-Melo-Bosh level FA's out there this summer.
